Pokémon: Stranger Things

"No matter what you say, I will be your listener and listen carefully."

Dust stood still in place.

"Father, he is a famous bird elf who studies elves. My name does not represent the acupuncture points on the human body, but the literal meaning—he hopes that one day I will be able to love as deeply as he does." Like the elves in the world, fly to the sky."

Tenman looked up to the sky.It's a pity that there are no bird spirits flying over their heads.

"The elf who accompanied me the first time when I was a child wasn't Caller Wang, nor was I a caretaker. It was this child."

Tianman opened his elf illustration book, stopped on an elf, and showed it to Chensha.

It has a small sky-blue body and fluffy cotton-like wings.

".....the green cotton bird."

Chensha recognized the elf.From the first time he met Tianma, he had never seen Tianma use the blue cotton bird.

"It's cute, isn't it? It was a birthday present from my father when I was a child. We were always able to play in the yard together, with the other elves in the house - until one day, my father stopped letting me go out , Qingmianniao was also locked in a cage. Although I don't know why he did this, there must be his reasons..."

Chensha continued to listen quietly to Tianman's words.

"Whether it's the skill of playing the flute or other musical instruments, I learned it during the days when I stayed at home. Behind the window, I looked out at the world with the blue bird in the cage, day after day , Year after year. I thought this kind of life would never end. How can I fly like this."

Tianman squatted down slowly and looked at the pool in front of him.

"But one day."

Tianman closed his eyes, recalling the past time.

"The locked birdcage was opened. I don't know where the child flew, but it must have had the experience of flying in the sky—who opened the cage? Until now, I can't think of one The answer. But, I have a wish in my heart."

Feeling the beating of his own heart, Tenma opened his eyes again.

"I want to go out and have a look. I want to witness the places in this world that I have never been to, and in which places, what kind of scenery is there. The green cotton bird must have flown a long distance. What it has I also want to see the places I have been to. This is my wish."

He clearly expressed his true thoughts, but Tianman's expression still did not become relaxed.

"...Mother found this opportunity for me. Sending materials for my father...But I knew that once this was done, I would have to go back home again...to go back to that no Its home. It will come one day, and I put a smile on my face—so that I can forget for a while the reality that I have to face."

Tianman smiled wryly at Chensha.This was the first time Chensha saw Tianman showing such an expression.The Tianma who always has a smile on her face; the Tianma who can make Chensha envious, and can show emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy at any time, her smile, sadness, anger, and joy are all produced to protect herself barrier.

"There's no way to talk back to my father, and it'll make him sad too. I think...maybe that's the end of the trip. I can't see those places with you, I..."

Chensha stepped forward, knelt down beside Tianman, and took her hand.

"No, our journey is far from over. Have you tried to communicate with your father?"

"....No."

Tianman lowered his head silently.

"Your father, and your mother, they are still by your side. Even if they can't get out of that door, they still haven't left you, right? They still love you. It's just that the mutual feelings have not been expressed. Language. Your desire to go outside will also be your strength to muster up your courage. That green bird...is the only one who can open the cage for it.”

Tianman stared at the sky in a trance.A few bird sprites flew over just right, drew an arc in the air and flew away.

They can fly freely.I have experienced the feeling of being outside, whether it is myself or Qingmianiao, I know this feeling.Can be unrestrained, free to do what you want to do.

What is the difference between the green cotton bird in the cage and myself in the big cage at home?

The desire to fly to the sky again, whether it is Qingmianniao or yourself, will have it, right?

In my own room, other than myself, only my parents will come in and out on weekdays.And the two of them will not open the cage for the Qingmianniao.Even if you are yourself, you won't do this kind of thing.

Ahhh, it opened the door with its own will, and flew into the wind.

And I, am I so strong, have that kind of courage?

"But I still want to...fly."

Chensha gently embraced Tianman's shoulders, providing her with a place to rely on.Looking at Tianman who was crying so hard, Chensha gently wiped away her tears.

"Well, I understand. We made an agreement before, and there are still many places to see. I will be by your side. If you want to spread your wings again, I will be the wind that lifts you forward. Together Let's go, if you linger and fear, I will face it with you..."

"Well... let's go."

Tianman raised his arm and rubbed his face.Although the eyes and the tip of the nose became a little red and swollen, and she could see her embarrassment at a glance, but she would not lose the courage to face it again because of this.

Because, trustworthy people are by her side.

"Tianma..."

Returning to the institute again, the worry in Hermes' eyes could not be concealed.It seems that even after making that kind of decision, he still cares about Tianma.

After all, he was the one who got the name for Tianma, which contained the love from his parents and had a special meaning.

"Father, I won't go back with you. I understand that you want to protect me, but I... don't want to continue being a nestling nestling."

Tenma took out his Poké Ball.

"Just like the blue cotton bird. That child has the courage to leave this cage weaved in the name of protection, and I want... to be as strong as it. Father, let me use this method... Let me show you my daughter's determination. Please watch carefully my determination and desire to embark on my own journey."

In Chensha's vision, he had already thought of many ways for Hermes' reaction.But Hermes just smiled in relief and stood up from his seat.

"Teacher, I beg you...to bear witness for the incompetent student. For his daughter who has her own will and ideas, bear witness to this moment."

"as you wish."

With the approval of Dr. Oki, Hermes and Tianma went to the backyard of the institute.

The dust is clear, and the moment when father and daughter confirm each other's wishes and wishes is coming.He, who promised to face everything with Tianma, naturally couldn't stop.
